Off Duty Cop Stops Stabbing, Boston Mayor Wu Mourns the Attacker! – Disgusting!

It’s official, folks—being a violent criminal in a Democrat-run city is a pretty sweet gig. You can terrorize innocent people, get shot while trying to stab someone, and the mayor will roll out the red carpet with thoughts and prayers for YOU. Welcome to Woketown, where the law-abiding are an afterthought, and the bad guys get sympathy cards. Why? Because there can never be any positive spin on guns being used to protect people!

Over the weekend, an off-duty Boston police officer became an absolute hero when he stopped a knife-wielding maniac inside a Chick-fil-A. The suspect had already chased two terrified individuals into the restaurant, attempting to stab them. The officer ordered him to drop the weapon, and when the lunatic refused, the officer did what any rational person would do—he eliminated the threat.

But instead of praising this officer for saving lives, Boston’s woke Mayor Michelle Wu and her leftist cronies leaped to comfort the criminal’s family. Because in today’s twisted reality, criminals deserve compassion, and law enforcement deserves suspicion. Sickening.

Boston’s Mayor: Champion of Criminals

Let’s talk about Michelle Wu, the queen of misplaced priorities. This is the same mayor who proposed giving illegal immigrants and even 11-year-olds the right to vote in city budgeting decisions. Because, of course, nothing says “competent governance” like letting pre-teens and people who aren’t even citizens have a say in how tax dollars are spent.

And now? She’s mourning the loss of a knife-wielding attacker, while barely acknowledging the heroism of the officer who prevented what could have been a mass stabbing inside a fast-food restaurant. Instead of standing with the people who keep Boston safe, Wu bends over backward to humanize violent criminals while law enforcement gets nothing but scrutiny.

Here’s what Wu had to say after the shooting:

“My condolences and all of our thoughts are with the family of the individual whose life has been lost.”

Unbelievable. Not a word about the officer. Not a word about the victims who were almost stabbed to death. Nope—just heartfelt sympathies for the would-be killer.

Meanwhile, Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden joined in on the nonsense, offering “thoughts and prayers” to the attacker’s family while suggesting there’s a bigger “chaotic situation” to investigate. The only “chaos” here is the left’s absolute unwillingness to stand behind the brave men and women in law enforcement.

Soft-on-Crime Lunacy is Destroying Our Cities

This isn’t just a Boston problem—it’s a national crisis in every leftist-controlled city. The same soft-on-crime policies that Wu champions are turning American cities into lawless wastelands. Just take a look:

  • New York City: Career criminals with dozens of prior arrests walk free within hours, only to commit more crimes.
  • San Francisco: A shoplifter’s paradise where stores are shutting down because law enforcement is basically optional.
  • Chicago: Violent criminals get slaps on the wrist while law-abiding citizens are treated like the real problem.

Wu’s leadership is just another version of this insanity. Instead of backing the blue, she’s part of the growing chorus of woke politicians who treat law enforcement like the enemy.

And who suffers the most from this madness? Regular Americans. The people just trying to live their lives, go to work, and enjoy a meal at Chick-fil-A without being chased by some knife-wielding lunatic.

The Officer Did His Job—And He Deserves Praise

Let’s be clear: This off-duty officer did EXACTLY what he was trained to do. He saw a threat, identified himself, issued a command, and when the criminal refused to comply, he neutralized the danger. That’s what policing is supposed to look like.

But in Wu’s Boston? Officers are villains while the criminals get eulogies.

Here’s an idea, Mayor Wu: Instead of sympathizing with violent criminals, how about standing up for the people who actually keep your city from descending into anarchy? How about praising the brave police officer who saved lives? How about making it clear that if you attack innocent people, there will be consequences?

But no, that would require actual leadership—something the left abandoned a long time ago.

Final Thoughts

This incident is just another reminder of what happens when woke leadership infects a city. Criminals are emboldened, law enforcement is demonized, and the average citizen is left wondering, “Whose side is my own government on?”

This officer is a hero, full stop. But in Wu’s Boston, heroism takes a backseat to woke compassion for the worst of society. And that’s exactly why Boston—and every city following this insane model—is spiraling into chaos.

Boston imposes proof of vaccination requirement for indoor activities

Boston on Monday became the latest Democrat-run city in the United States to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination to participate in city life. Mayor Michelle Wu (D) announced that the city will require proof of vaccination for indoor recreational activities including restaurants, gyms, theaters, sports venues, and many other businesses. The requirements will take effect on Jan. 15. According to Boston’s public health commission, there are 464,610 fully vaccinated city residents, about 68% of the population. Nearly one-third of all Bostonians will be unable to participate in public indoor activities after the requirements go into effect.

Additionally, city employees will be required to get vaccinated, she said at a press conference where protesters blew whistles, shouted “Shame on Wu,” and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner,” WHDH-TV reported.

“There is nothing more American than coming together to ensure that we’re taking care of each other,” Wu said to the protesters.

Under the previous vaccine mandate, city workers had the option of submitting to regular virus testing if they did not want to receive one of the vaccines. But now there will be no testing option. City employees may apply for a medical or religious exemption from the mandate. Wu said that about 90% of the city’s roughly 18,000 workers are already vaccinated.

“The vast majority of COVID-related hospitalizations are of unvaccinated individuals, which is impacting our entire health care system and compromising the health of our communities,” she said. “Today’s steps to protect community members in certain indoor establishments and throughout our city workforce will help ensure that everyone in Boston will be safe.”

The additional coronavirus restrictions come amid fears that the Omicron variant will make the winter surge of COVID-19 in several northeastern states worse.

Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, executive director of the Boston Public Health Commission, warned that new positive cases had increased nearly 90% compared to two weeks ago and said the city is now averaging 369 new cases per day. Hospitalizations have increased 60% in the last two weeks.

Though some private businesses have imposed their own mask and vaccine requirements, and there were small business owners appearing at the press conference in support of the mayor’s announcement, the Massachusetts chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses called the new mandate an additional burden on struggling businesses.

“It is unfortunate that, once again, private businesses are being placed in the unenviable position of having to enforce another government health directive,” Christopher Carlozzi, the organization’s director, said in a statement.

Irate Woman All Smiles Attacking Man in MAGA Hat. ICE Learns She’s Illegal and Makes Arrest

Illegal Alien Showing Off The Hat She Assaulted

Assaulting someone over their hat is a crime, but bragging and seeking media attention for doing it while you’re in the country illegally seems particularly unwise.

Rosiane Santos was recently arrested for after assaulting a Trump supporter who was wearing a “MAGA” hat inside a Mexican restaurant in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Even employees of the restaurant confirmed that Bryton Turner had simply ordered food before he was accosted by Santos.

“Santos started yelling at him because of his hat, which bears the theme that President Donald Trump campaigned on,” Boston news station WFXT explained. “The woman is seen walking behind him and hitting his hat off his head.”

Even after being arrested, Santos claimed that simply being an immigrant allowed her to attack Turner.

“(B)eing discriminated for so many times in my life, I just had to stand up for myself,” she said in a phone interview with WFXT. “He’s not a victim. I am the victim. I have been bullied, OK?”

Going after someone because of a campaign hat and then drawing attention to herself on the news wasn’t a very wise choice. It turns out that Santos is from Brazil, and now the U.S. government says she was living in the United States illegally.

“The woman who was charged with confronting a man wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat inside a Falmouth Mexican restaurant is now in ICE custody,” WBZ-TV reported on Tuesday.

Her attention-seeking stunt definitely worked, but it will likely get her a one-way ticket out of the country.

“Deportation officers with ICE’s Fugitive Operations Team arrested Rosiane Santos, an unlawfully present citizen of Brazil, today near Falmouth, Massachusetts,” ICE spokesman John Mohan told the local CBS News affiliate.

“Santos is currently facing local charges for assault and other offenses. She is presently in ICE custody and has been entered into removal proceedings before the federal immigration courts.”

For his part, Turner told WBZ-TV that the entire incident could have been avoided if the woman had simply respected other people’s right to wear hats or hold opinions she might not agree with.

“It’s just a hat at the end of the day,” he said. “I don’t really understand why people can’t just express themselves anymore, everybody has to get mad.”

The real irony of this story is that Santos just proved Trump and his supporters’ point. The left insists that “undocumented immigrants” are all good people who only want to join the melting pot and have better lives.

Conservatives, of course, have pointed out that there’s a lot more going on. While many immigrants don’t cause problems once they cross the border, a solid number seem to have a mentality of entitlement, making demands while stirring up trouble.

That’s exactly what this woman did on camera while continuing to play the victim. She and others like her wail about “MAGA” hats and angry Trump supporters, but it was her own unhinged behavior and illegal actions that got her arrested.
